She finished her law degree with first class honours and secured a job as a junior lawyer soon after.

And Pia Muehlenbeck’s ‘tough decision’ to quit her legal career early on has fortunately led the 25-year-old to bigger and better projects.

After building a brand on Instagram, the social media ‘influencer’ now has more than 1.9 million followers and gets paid to travel the world with her boyfriend.

The qualified lawyer left the corporate world in pursuit of a career in modelling and blogging in 2014 and has never looked back.

She said: ‘I decided a few months in that I really always wanted to start my own business and challenge myself in that way. Because I was really early on in my legal career, I decided that it was now or never.’

The Instagram sensation has built up her personal brand online over the past three years and has launched her own luxury sportswear and bikini line, SLINKII Athletic.
